they expand
These are the muscles that move the rib cage and they work together:Diaphragm (Prime mover of inhalation). If you need to breathe deeper you will use these:Scalenes (Elevate rib cage, assist in inhalation)Sternocleidomastoid (Elevate Rib Cage, assist in inhalation)Pectoralis minor (Elevate Rib Cage, assist in inhalation)External Intercostals (Elevate rib cage, assist in inhalation)Internal Intercostals (Depress, assist in exhalation)The diaphragm is under both voluntary control (holding your breath) and involuntary control (sleeping, reading)
Yes, the rib cage plays a crucial role in breathing. It protects the lungs and heart while also providing structural support for the respiratory system. During inhalation, the diaphragm contracts and the rib cage expands, allowing the lungs to fill with air. Conversely, during exhalation, the rib cage relaxes, helping to push air out of the lungs.
Your diaphragm expands, your rib cage goes up, and your lungs also expand. I learned this in science.
it is not possible to cunstruct a rib cage again.

You can break your rib cage a number of ways but overall from a blunt blow to the rib cage
Yes, this, in combination with the movement of the diaphragm (controlled by surrounding muscles) allows space for air to rush into the lungs. Thus, you breathe.
Yes, whales do have rib cage.
The rib cage is superficial to the lungs. The rib cage encloses the lungs for protection.
It allows more flexible movement which helps us to breathe with ease.
